This book was released on 2012-06-02 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En los albores del siglo XXI la globalización ha permeado todas las esferas de la sociedad y su impacto ha llegado a las puertas de nuestras universidades. Por ello es cada vez más importante el papel que juega la educación superior en la tarea de enseñar a vivir juntos en la aldea global y a desear esta convivencia. La formación de ciudadanos del mundo con competencias para desempeñarse con éxito en cualquier parte del globo es preocupación permanente de las universidades: la internacionalización se ha posicionado en el mundo académico y ya no se puede dar marcha atrás. Desde la perspectiva de la globalización, Europa ha jugado un papel muy importante. Podemos afirmar, sin temor a equivocamos, que el desarrollo de la educación superior europea ha impactado la internacionalización de la educación superior en todo el mundo. América Latina no ha sido ajena a los fenómenos mencionados. Sus universidades de calidad han realizado ingentes esfuerzos por estrechar los nexos con universidades europeas y por desarrollar interesantes proyectos de internacionalización potenciando la movilidad estudiantil, realizando programas de doble titulación, alimentando la colaboración para el desarrollo de la investigación mediante la implementación de redes de cooperación, y participando en proyectos de la Unión Europea como ALFA y ERASMUS. Este libro es un esfuerzo de un puñado de colegas europeos y latinoamericanos por analizar temáticas relevantes, examinar las tendencias y compartir experiencias exitosas que invitan a la reflexión sobre los retos de las universidades con el fin de hacer realidad su internacionalización.

Download or read book Globalisation and Europeanisation in Education written by Roger Dale and published by Symposium Books Ltd. This book was released on 2009-05-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grew out of the experience of a European Union Thematic Network of the same title, and focuses on aspects of the complex and varying relationships between globalisation, Europeanisation and Education. The volume is divided into two parts: PART 1: Governance and the Knowledge Economy, focuses on how the discourses of a Knowledge Economy and Lifelong Learning, and an emerging functional and scalar division of the labour of educational governance became central to the development of a European Education Space. Contributors emphasise the role of the European Commission, and especially the Lisbon agenda, in this process, and considers the role of the Open Method of Coordination and the Bologna Process in the construction of the EES. A key theme linking Europeanisation to globalisation is the prominence of the discourse of competitiveness, and the role allocated to education in enhancing Europe’s ability to compete with the United States and Japan. PART TWO: Citizenship, Identity and Language, looks at the emergence of a new social model for Europe, this time from the point of view of how it relates the development of individual capacities and citizenship, and the role of intellectuals in this process. A second major theme is the place, role and choice of languages and at the impact of pressures from globalisation and Europeanisation, and national and sub-national levels, on language choice and teaching, taking into account both ‘World Englishes’ and Language Europe. Finally, globalisation becomes the central issue in an analysis of its different relationships with ‘northern’ (of which European education policy is taken as the example) and ‘southern’ paradigms of educational development.

Download or read book WTO GATS and the Global Politics of Higher Education written by Antoni Verger and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) was created in 1995, there has been international pressure towards the liberalization of education all over the world, as well as new challenges to the traditional internationalization rationale in the field of higher education. Nevertheless, education liberalization under the GATS is also a contested process. Public universities, teachers unions, development NGOs and other education stakeholders have opposed and campaigned against the GATS in different countries and at a range of levels from local to global. Based on intensive fieldwork in the WTO headquarters and on two case studies (Argentina and Chile), Antoni Verger opens the black-box of the GATS negotiations in the field of education. His well-documented work explores in-depth how domestic actors and interests are key to understanding the constitution of the global education liberalization process entailed by the GATS as well as the opposition to this process in certain places. This book is crucial reading to anyone with an interest in the future of higher education.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science, and Technology for Development (IAASTD) looks realistically at how we could effectively use agriculture/AKST to help us meet development and sustainability goals. An unprecedented three-year collaborative effort, the IAASTD involved more than 400 authors in 110 countries and cost more than $11 million. It reports on the advances and setbacks of the past fifty years and offers options for the next fifty years. The results of the project are contained in seven reports: a Global Report, five regional Sub-Global Assessments, and a Synthesis Report. The Global Report gives the key findings of the Assessment, and the five Sub-Global Assessments address regional challenges. The volumes present options for action. All of the reports have been extensively peer-reviewed by governments and experts and all have been approved by a panel of participating governments. The Sub-Global Assessments all utilize a similar and consistent framework: examining and reporting on the impacts of AKST on hunger, poverty, nutrition, human health, and environmental/social sustainability. The five Sub-Global Assessments cover the following regions: Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) East and South Asia and the Pacific (ESAP) Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) North America and Europe (NAE) Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book Gender and Education written by Madeleine Arnot and published by . This book was released on 2012-12-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the field of gender and education today requires thinking more critically about paradigmatic models of gender and their goals for educational and social reform. It involves recognizing that the international project of the women’s movement of the 1960s and 1970s has had a deep influence in many countries, not just in those which are income rich. In this context, it is important to think critically and analytically about how gender is conceptualized in both international and national policy making and research and the ways in which gender analysis in education can now contribute to the creation of emancipatory forms of gender relations, and global gender justice. The aim of this introductory text from international authority Madeleine Arnot, is to understand where the field of gender and education is located at present, its strengths and weaknesses in terms of foci, its theoretical advance, its methodological sophistication and its policy relevance and impacts. It provides a concise but comprehensive introduction to the progressive discussions in feminist theory and the role of education in relation to the structuring of familial, institutional, political and economic sites. The book concludes by considering some of the contemporary challenges which gender and education as a field of scholarship and political action face in the context of international and global developments. Ideal for courses in education studies, sociology, gender studies, women’s studies, development studies, this valuable teaching resource is essential reading for anyone who wishes to read more about the controversies associated with gender issues in education and society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain's membership of the European Union since 1986 has had a major impact. Driven primarily by political concerns to secure democracy, membership has also served as a catalyst to dynamic economic development in Spain.

At the same time, Spain's increasingly proactive role within the EU is also explored, with particular attention given to the country's international position in post-Cold War Europe.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuando, en diciembre de 2002, el Consejo Europeo de Laeken lanzó el proceso que culminó en la firma del Tratado que establece una Constitución para Europa, fijó como uno de sus tres objetivos principales la reforma de todo el sistema de relaciones exteriores de la Unión. Se reconocían así sus insuficiencias. No debe extrañar, pues, que el diagnóstico presentado en este libro sobre el estado actual de las relaciones Unión Europea América Latina sea crítico: ¿cómo pueden dejar de proyectarse sobre un ámbito geográfico específico, que además no constituye la primera de las prioridades para la Unión, esas insuficiencias? La pretensión de los autores es que su diagnóstico sea correcto y abra nuevas perspectivas para conseguir en el futuro lo que no se ha sido capaz de alcanzar en el pasado. Esta es la función principal del Observatorio de las relaciones Unión Europea América Latina (OBREAL) promovido por la Comisión Europea e integrado por 23 instituciones de los dos lados del Atlántico. Este libro es su primera contribución pública.

Download or read book Am rica Latina y el Caribe Relaciones Internacionales en el siglo XXI written by Francisco Rojas Aravena and published by Teseo. This book was released on 2012 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frente a un nuevo contexto global con múltiples actores y sin un multilateralismo efectivo, el sistema multilateral se encuentra hoy en día en crisis. Esto se debe, en gran parte, a la crisis económico financiera que se vive desde el 2008; a menor atención de los Estados Unidos hacia América Latina y otras regiones del mundo y su inercia unilateral; al bloqueo en el sistema de Naciones Unidas y a la baja legitimidad de instituciones emergentes que no logran dar gobernabilidad global. En Occidente se constatan cambios profundos e importantes, como lo es la profundización de las relaciones de América Latina, particularmente de América del Sur, con la región Asia Pacífico; la consolidación de China como socio comercial estratégico relevante para América Latina desplazando a la Unión Europea, entre otros. Además las revoluciones y cambios en los países árabes y los cambios en África reorientan prioridades y tendencias en Europa que sin duda repercuten en América Latina. Esta publicación recoge las ideas centrales expuestas por destacados académicos (as) acerca de los cambios globales y las distintas visiones de países hegemónicos de la región y fuera de ella; así como acerca de las diplomacias de Cumbres como la de APEC, CELAC, de las Américas y la Unión Europea y las ideas expuestas en torno a temas emergentes transnacionales como lo son el cambio climático, la seguridad, la gobernanza, la gobernabilidad y la integración. A su vez, se analizan los temas de seguridad y defensa de cara a los nuevos desafíos del siglo XXI y los actores relevantes en la política exterior hemisférica, tales como Canadá, los Estados Unidos, México y Brasil. Finalmente, esta publicación cuenta con una reflexión acerca de la visión sobre los cambios que se han dado que continúan ocurriendo en el Sistema Internacional. [Description in English] Latin America and the Caribbean: International Relations in the 21st Century Summit Diplomacy and Spaces of Regional and Global Agreement Faced with a new global context that has multiple actors but no effective multilateralism, the multilateral system is now in crisis. This is largely due to the economic and financial crisis underway since 2008; to the United States paying less attention to Latin America and other regions of the world and its unilateral inertia; and to the deadlock in the United Nations system and the reduced legitimacy of emerging institutions, which are unable to achieve global governability. In the West, profound and important changes are being witnessed, such as the deepening of relations between Latin America, particularly South America, and the Asia Pacific region, and China's consolidation as a significant strategic trading partner for Latin America, supplanting other partners like the European Union. In addition, the revolutions and transformations occurring in Arab countries and the changes taking place in Africa are reorienting priorities and trends in Europe that no doubt affect Latin America. This publication brings together the main ideas presented by prominent academics with regard to these global changes and the different visions of hegemonic countries within and beyond the region; and to summit diplomacies such as that of APEC, CELAC, the Americas and the EU; as well as the ideas presented in relation to emerging transnational issues such as climate change, security, governance, governability and integration. In turn, the issues of security and defense are analyzed in relation to the new challenges of the 21st century and the relevant actors within hemispheric foreign policy, including Canada, the United States, Mexico and Brazil. Lastly, this work contains a reflection on this view of the changes that continue to take place within the International System.
